Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes(甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(燉菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker（高壓鍋）and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out.

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, edible, and we drank up every last drop of soup.

1.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly?

A. To earn some money for the family.

B. To collect manure for his crops.

C. To get rid of the terrible smell.

D. To set a good example to us.

2. What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A. It is popular among the neighbors.

B. It contains honey and vegetables.

C. It looks very wonderful.

D. It tastes quite delicious.

3.What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?

A. To attract B. To upset

C. To air D. To shut

Dear Ms. J. K. Rowling,

It is great pleasure to write to you. I like reading all of your Harry Potter book. A few days before, I listened to a radio programme about you. Now I know that you teach English at home and in others countries before you started writing books. I also know that you could only write the first book while your baby daughter was asleep, so you worked on them for five years. That was a very much difficult job. Your son David and your daughter Jessica must be proud for you. I hope I can become as successfully as you when I grow up. Thank you for spending time read my letter.

Yours sincerely,

Michele

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆湖南衡陽八中高三上學(xué)期9月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Attempts to understand the relationship between social behavior and health have their origin in history. Dubos (1969) suggested that primitive（原始的）humans were closer to the animals because they, too, relied upon their instincts to stay healthy. Yet some primitive humans recognized a cause and effect relationship between doing certain things and alleviating（減輕）symptoms of a disease or improving the condition of a wound. Since there was so much that primitive humans did not understand about the functioning of the body, magic became an integral component（不可或缺的成分）of the beliefs about the causes and cures of health disorders. So it is not surprising that early humans thought that illness was caused by evil spirits. Primitive medicines made from vegetables or animals were always used in combination with some form of ritual（禮儀）to drive harmful spirits away from a diseased body.

One of the earliest attempts in the Western world to formulate principles of health care based upon rational（理性的）thought and rejection of supernatural phenomena is found in the work of the Greek physician Hippocrates. Little is known of Hippocrates who lived around 400 B.C., not even whether he actually authored the collection of books that bears his name. Nevertheless, the writings attributed to him have provided a number of principles underlying modern medical practice. One of his most famous contributions, the Hippocratic Oath, is the foundation of contemporary medical ethics（道德）. Among other things, it requires a physician to swear that he or she will help the sick, keep oneself from intentional wrong-doing or harm, and keep secret all matters to keep the doctor-patient relationship.

Hippocrates also argued that medical knowledge should be derived（源自于） from an understanding of the natural sciences and the logic of cause and effect relationships. In this classic thesis（論點）, On Airs, Waters, and Places, Hippocrates pointed out that human-being is influenced by the totality of environmental factors: living habits or lifestyle, climate, geography of the land, and the quality of air and food. Interesting enough, concerns about our health and the quality of air, water, and places are still very much written in the twentieth century.

1. The topic of the first paragraph is summarized in ________.

A. Sentence 1 B. Sentence 2

C. Sentence 3 D. the last sentence

2. Why did primitive humans rely on magic in their beliefs about the causes and cures of diseases?

A. Because magic was an inseparable part of their life.

B. Because they had little knowledge about the body.

C. Because the diseases were caused by the evil spirits.

D. Because magic must be used in going through the rituals to drive out the evil spirits.

3.Considering Hippocrates’ background, we can see from the second paragraph that ________.

A. he was the forefather of modern medicine

B. experts are sure that the books bearing his name were not written by him

C. he had a rational mind aided by supernatural instincts

D. experts do not know much about him except when and where he lived

4.All of the following are included in the Hippocratic Oath EXCEPT ________.

A. helping patients

B. keeping oneself from harming patients

C. keeping secret all matters to maintain a good relationship with the patients

D. obeying rules for modern medicine practice
